Chapter 277: Chaolu Palace Dispute

Li Yong was increasingly dissatisfied with Zhao Chunrong's attitude and behavior. Although he had expressed his dissatisfaction and hoped that Concubine Chun would learn a lesson, he still felt that his mood could not be calmed down. After spending dinner with Concubine Chun and Princess Ninghe, Li Yong decided to leave Chaolu Palace to show his warning and dissatisfaction with Zhao Chunrong.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" When Zhao Chunrong saw Li Yong getting up and preparing to leave, she hurried forward to stop him, her eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.

Li Yong frowned slightly and said coldly: "Noble Concubine Chun, I have said enough today. I hope you can reflect on your behavior. I am a little tired now and want to rest somewhere else."

Zhao Chunrong's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please don't leave. I will reflect on it."

Li Yong was unmoved. He turned around and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Zhao Chunrong hurried forward and tried to persuade him to stay: "Your Majesty, please stay. I really know I was wrong."

At this moment, Su Changde stepped forward at the right time, respectfully stood in front of Zhao Chunrong, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the emperor has decided to leave, please don't embarrass the emperor anymore."

A trace of anger and helplessness flashed in Zhao Chunrong's eyes, but she knew that Su Changde's appearance was to protect the emperor's decision. She gritted her teeth and had to take a step back, her eyes full of pleading and uneasiness: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Li Yong nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave Chaolu Palace. Zhao Chunrong watched Li Yong's back, her heart filled with mixed emotions: regret for her own behavior, and uneasiness and anger at Li Yong's departure.

After leaving Chaolu Palace, Li Yong still felt annoyed. He knew that he needed to calm down so that he could better handle the affairs in the harem. So he decided to go to Zhang Zhaoyi's palace to temporarily avoid the disputes in Chaolu Palace.

Su Changde followed closely behind, and seeing Li Yong's expression, he asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

Li Yong said calmly: "I am going to Zhang Zhaoyi's palace, you go and make the arrangements."

Su Changde nodded quickly, immediately ordered people to prepare, and notified Zhang Zhaoyi to welcome the emperor. Not long after, Li Yong came to Zhang Zhaoyi's palace, and Zhang Zhaoyi was already at the door to greet him respectfully.

"Your Majesty, you are here." Zhang Zhaoyi bowed slightly with a gentle smile on her face.

Li Yong nodded and said gently, "Zhang Zhaoyi, I am a little tired today and would like to rest here with you for a while."

Zhang Zhaoyi said quickly, "Your Majesty, please come in. I am ready. Please take a rest."

After entering the palace, Zhang Zhaoyi personally poured tea for Li Yong, with concern in her eyes: "Your Majesty, you have been working hard recently. I hope you can relax here."

Li Yong smiled slightly, took the teacup, and felt a little warmth. He knew that Zhang Zhaoyi had always been gentle and virtuous, and would not bring him any extra troubles.

"Zhang Zhaoyi, I feel very safe with you." Li Yong said softly, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

Zhang Zhaoyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I hope to help you solve your problems and make you feel relaxed and happy."

Li Yong nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, Zhang Zhaoyi, I need this kind of peace."

In Zhang Zhaoyi's palace, Li Yong finally felt a long-lost sense of peace. He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and enjoyed a moment of tranquility.

Zhang Zhaoyi walked gently to Li Yong and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have prepared some snacks for you. Would you like to try some?"

Li Yong opened his eyes slightly and nodded: "Okay, I'm a little hungry."

Zhang Zhaoyi personally brought snacks to Li Yong and said gently, "Your Majesty, these snacks are made by me. I hope you like them."

Li Yong took a bite, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "It tastes great, Zhang Zhaoyi, you are really clever and skillful."

Zhang Zhaoyi smiled and said, "As long as Your Majesty likes it, I hope I can bring you some relaxation and happiness."

Li Yong felt Zhang Zhaoyi's tenderness and care, and his annoyance gradually dissipated. He knew that the concubines in the harem had their own personalities and characteristics, and Zhang Zhaoyi's tenderness and consideration were exactly what he needed.

In the following time, Li Yong spent a pleasant night in Zhang Zhaoyi's palace. Zhang Zhaoyi's tenderness and care made him feel a little peace and satisfaction.

At the same time, Zhao Chunrong felt lost and angry in Chaolu Palace. She knew that her plan had failed and Li Yong's attitude towards her had become cold. This made her feel extremely anxious and uneasy.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The emperor is just angry temporarily. He will come back after a while." The wet nurse comforted carefully.

Zhao Chunrong said coldly: "I know the emperor is angry temporarily, but if we don't win his heart back in time, the consequences will be disastrous."

The nurse whispered, "My queen, you will definitely be able to win back the emperor's heart, as long as you stay calm and win his favor again."

Zhao Chunrong took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "You are right, I can't just give up like this. I will win the emperor's favor again and make him come back to me."

In the following days, Zhao Chunrong began to re-plan her strategy. She knew that the power struggle in the harem never stopped, and she had to stay vigilant at all times to remain invincible in this complex environment.

Meanwhile, Lian Di continued to make gifts in Guangqing Palace. Together with Dong Chun and Dong Qing, she carefully selected materials and designed them with great care. Each gift was filled with her thoughts and blessings.

One day, Lian Di was handling affairs in Guangqing Palace when she suddenly received an invitation from Concubine Xian to go to her palace. Although Lian Di felt a little uneasy, she knew that Concubine Xian’s invitation should not be taken lightly. She put on her clothes and took Dong Qing to Concubine Xian’s palace.

Arriving at Concubine Xian's palace, Lian Di saw Concubine Xian sitting in the main seat with a faint smile on her face. She hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Concubine Xian, what do you want me to do?"

Concubine Xian smiled and said gently, "Sister Lian Di, I heard that you have been learning embroidery recently. I am very interested in it and specially invited you to come and see your work."

Lian Di was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "My Lady, I have only just learned some basic needlework techniques, so I can't say I have any masterpieces."

Xian Fei nodded and said, "It's okay. I'm just curious and want to see my sister's progress."

Lian Di nodded, took out a small flower and bird painting she had just finished, and handed it to Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian took the embroidery, examined it carefully, and a trace of praise flashed in her eyes: "Sister Lian Di's skills are really amazing. Although this flower and bird painting is not big, the stitches are delicate, the colors are bright, and it is quite charming."

Lian Di smiled slightly and said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, Madam Xianfei. I am just a beginner and need more practice."

Xian Fei smiled and nodded: "Sister, your talent is indeed extraordinary. I believe you will get better and better."

In the following time, Concubine Xian chatted with Lian Di for a while, and the topic mostly revolved around embroidery and daily affairs in the palace. Although Concubine Xian still maintained the majesty of a high-ranking official in her words, Lian Di felt that her attitude was much gentler than before.

After saying goodbye and leaving Concubine Xian's palace, Lian Di returned to Guangqing Palace and felt relieved. She knew that although Concubine Xian's attitude had softened, she still couldn't let her guard down.
